• Analytical Skills: Ability to interpret complex datasets and connect insights to client objectives, developing strategic recommendations grounded in fashion industry and consumer dynamics.
• Data Analysis: Advanced MS Excel skills (including modelling and complex functions) and a methodical approach to handling large datasets to answer defined business questions.
• Curiosity and Passion: A proactive, curious mindset with genuine passion for fashion, retail, and evolving consumer preferences.
• Report & Presentation Skills: Ability to create clear, compelling reports and presentations with strong storytelling and professional polish.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with confidence presenting to clients and senior stakeholders.
• Strong time management and organisation, comfortable managing multiple projects and deadlines.
• Proactive problem-solver who can work independently with initiative, while collaborating effectively within a team.
• Minimum 2:1 degree in any discipline (or equivalent commercial experience).
• 1/2+ years’ experience in fashion retail, apparel/footwear brands, retail consulting, or an analytical insights role preferred (flexibility for high-potential candidates).
